Bledsoe will miss about six weeks, heed coach Jeff Hornacek told reporters Tuesday. Bledsoe had a damaged meniscus removed from his right knee in 2014, and missed more than two months with the injury.

Bledsoe, who leads the Suns in points, assists and steals, left Saturday’s 111–104 loss to the Sixers with what was initially being called a sprain. He logged eight minutes before exiting in the second quarter, appearing to stumble while closing out on a shooter and falling to the ground. He was carried off the court.
